What if everything is meant to serve us?
What if even in the disorder, there is order?
How can we truly know if something is bad?
What if it leads to something rad?

Maybe it’s all part of the process.
On the way to something far greater.
How can we think for a second we know it all and what will ultimately serve us?

If we had it our way we’d avoid pain and suffering at all costs.
And how much good would that do us?
Never learning, growing, overcoming and challenging ourselves.
Never experiencing the depths of our being, our love, our joy, our light, radiance, courage and strength. We’d be bored and definitely not as evolved.

So how can we know what is best for us, when we don’t even know how all this works?
All this being the Universe.
Perhaps it’s time to trust the very thing that put us here on this earth.
Suddenly one day we were here and we don’t even know how that happened besides the fact that our parents had sex.

Call it what you will my friends (Source Energy, Higher Power, God, Infinite Intelligence…) but there’s “Something” and it’s the one thing that connects us all. It’s you, it’s me, it’s we, all of creation and infinity. Seriously, the Universe is infinite…no end, no beginning, limitless.

Can you even wrap your head around this?

Therefore, just because society sets certain standards and says it needs to be a certain way, you need to be a certain way. You don’t. You have a choice. You get to choose. You get to decide, create, express, test, try on, explore, see, learn, grow, experiment with what is best for you. And what is best for you right now won’t always be.
And that’s a good thing, great in fact because you are always evolving.

You get to create whatever it is you want to create in this life because just like the Universe, you too are limitless. It’s simply about owning it and believing it with all your heart.

I promise you if you want to do a world of good, the world will join you.

But first and foremost you need to start with you. Know thyself first and then. Because we cannot give what we do not have and even that is constantly unfolding.

The other day I wrote down these words; I wish to see all parts of me and embrace them lovingly.

And boom!, the very next day jealousy and envy decided to show up. Instead of pushing against, resisting or trying to change what I was feeling, I let it sit there for a bit and decided to investigate.

Jealously and envy, what do you intend? Are you a foe or are you a friend?

By asking these two simple questions, I immediately felt some space open up between me and my emotions. The emotions no longer consumed me, instead I was curious as to what I would find and got some of my power back in the meantime.

I realized that these feelings could only arise when I was stuck in my mind, judging and comparing. Old patterns of comparison and unworthiness were activated and my attention was no longer in the present moment.

Good to know.

Then I started thinking, what if feeling shitty wasn’t such a bad thing? What if its purpose is to warn us, to protect us and to guide us back towards love? If we didn’t feel bad than how else would we know we’d fallen into destructive thoughts or behavior. I believe these so called negative emotions are here to help us, to alert us. “MAYDAY, MAYDAY!! Not this way, turn back towards love, Love.”

It’s amazing how I automatically assumed jealousy and envy were bad and were trying to hurt me, when all along they were trying to guide me back towards my worthiness, my wholeness and most of all love.

Big Lesson Here:

To compete and to compare is such a part of our conditioning we often don’t notice we’re doing it and wonder why we’re so miserable.
We are literally all different flowers with our own scents and characteristics, each one uniquely beautiful and magnificent. Yet, beneath it all, we are all the same.
So less comparing, more loving. Appreciating each and everyone for who they are and the gifts they bring.
There’s no need to compete when we understand that we are ALL whole, full and complete.
Now let us all breathe a big sigh of relief. (Aaaaaaah…)

Our default is to operate from the head because that’s all we are taught. It’s up to each of us to make the journey from the head to the heart and when we do, that’s when we begin to understand what our existence is all about.

It’s a personal journey, one of our own soul. You do know best, you always do. Know that. Trust that.

We are taught to always look outside ourselves for answers, approval and guidance. But once we begin to look within instead, that’s when we tap into our true power and grace. If only people knew how magnificent they are, instead of buying into the idea that they lack something, we’d have a world filled with love, joy and kindness.

Recently I heard the only true measure of success is to love yourself unconditionally (Pause. Wow. Breathe that one in…)
and I couldn’t agree more. It starts from within. Our self-talk especially. We need to forgive ourselves, be gentle, loving, kind, caring and compassionate towards ourselves. In other words, we need to accept ourselves and eventually that will naturally turn into love, respect and honour towards ourselves and others.

Therefore, less doing more being. You are already whole, complete, perfect just as you are. Rest in that. Know that. Let it sink deeply into your heart. Nothing more to prove, to improve, to do or be. Just complete acceptance of oneself. There in lies the magic, the power, the beauty. No longer needing anyone else to accept you because you accept you. Now that’s freedom!

The very essence of nature is change. Of course it is, it’s so obvious now. But funny how in our human forms we are sometimes so resistant to change when in fact we are changing every moment of every day and so is everything around us.

Life is now. All that matters is right now. Now is the leading edge of creation.

Trust. So much trust, in myself, in life and in others.

Love is all around us and is us. We are made by love, in love, with love.

WE are worthy and we ALL matter a lot. As we expand so does the Universe.
